Grid Diary - Journal, Planner

Love the app. It’s been a great way for me to get back to journaling. 1 thing I would live to see is the ability to set random prompts for a grid. Maybe have 4 grids on a board and each day it’s a different set of prompts from a preselected few. Thanks for that app.

I was looking for a journaling app which would allow me to keep track of my process as a PhD student - things like my motivation and what affected it, key lessons for the day, general notes, key tasks accomplished, etc. The grid style is perfect for this - it allows me to customise how many grids, the prompts in each grid, and quickly see an overview for the day. It syncs perfectly with the MacOS version as well. Really helpful.

I have explored a few journal apps (many of which are excellent), but the key point of difference witih Grid Diary is this grid concept. It allows you to customise the grid format, including prompts, to help in focusing on documenting key items. For me, I am wanting to use it as a journal through my PhD studies - to help keep me motivated, understand what affects my motivation, just down important notes and lessons, as well as key tasks completed. As a result this grid format is perfect for me. It syncs perfectly with the app on my iPhone and iPad which makes life easy.

I previously used their grid diary classic app before changing over to this one. This app is a good way to record your thoughts and feelings and make it a simple habit to keep up in your daily life. I had contacted them about a crash error from the recent update and they were very prompt to give m a solution. They have since then released an update addressing bugs. I recommend this app if you like to keep a grid- style diary that you can custom to your needs. The subscription is also a reasonable one as the customisations and ease of use make this a worthwhile one to stick to.

Daily/Yearly questions prompts helps me to develop a habit of reflection on my days / year. You can insert pictures to journal as a memory stamp. Love the design of app!

When you’re required to create an account that’s a red flag for me, so deleted straight away

I really liked the idea behind this app. I signed up to the two week Premium trial on my Mac, setup my first template and made my first day's entry. I then downloaded the iphone app, signed in to the same account (both apps signed in using my Apple ID) and the entry wasn't there. Went back to the Mac app, the entry has now disappeared from there. Setup the ttemplate again, saved the template again, made my first entry. Closed the app, opened the app, everything gone. If I could give this app negative stars for wasting 20 minutes of my life I would. Good idea, terrible execution.

I love this app but can you please fix this problem? I can't use it now as a result of this

The URL Scheme for Grid Diary 2 is broken. None of the URLs work except griddiary2://open But the application is not configured to insert ”griddiary2” into any URL strings so no URLs work out of the application. Not sure how this is getting past the Apple App checkers. Please resolve. Best Regards Sven

An easy, simple way to reflect and monitor your mood, goals, mental health and overall daily happenings. Even if you normally can’t make entries or don’t know where to start the app pretty much does that part for you and all you need to do is simply answer the prompts, and you have a well formatted, organised, insightful reflection. Love the fact that you can not only edit the format for an individual day, but also create your own templates too, meaning you can personalise it to suit your individual needs. Well done to the developer!!
